Life as an Adoptive Family

>Forever Ours

>I am surprised at how much it means to know that we are now officially the parents of our little boy. In our hearts he has been our son ever since he was placed in our arms 9.5 months ago.

Today I received a surprising call from our attorney who let me know that they received the final adoption decree. Ben’s name is now officially Ben and he is a US citizen. And we’re his parents.

The day the adoption became final was the anniversary of the day that our acceptance paperwork made it to Korea. Isn’t it great that with all the little steps involved in adoption there is always a special date to pick from?
